International Palaeontological Association

The International Palaeontological Association (IPA) is a global organization dedicated to the study of fossils and ancient life forms. It brings together scientists, researchers, and institutions to share knowledge, promote research, and advance understanding of Earth's biological history. By supporting conferences, publications, and educational initiatives, the IPA helps uncover how life evolved over millions of years and how past environments shaped the planet. Its work provides valuable insights into climate change, extinction events, and the development of Earth’s ecosystems, all contributing to broader scientific and societal understanding of our planet’s deep history.
